I've flown my MP in my garage several times in tripod mode. It works beautifully, atti or gps mode. I have a textured floor too. Tripod mode slows things down enough to really make it simple to move around with confidence.

I've flown on North Myrtle Beach in May and was able to enjoy it only after a call to the airport and unlocking the NFZ through the Go-4 app and an internet connection. The airport folks were very helpful asked where I was exactly and told me when to look out for the banner planes towing...

I don't remember where it was but I also read that they would like the charge state to be 30% or less but that doesn't seem to be spelled out in that battery info sheet.

I caught one last year. Just like yours, I didn't see it till the video was on my computer.

I was on vacation in a 9th floor condo in N. Myrtle Beach in similar circumstances a few months ago. Unless I put my MP on the table, I was getting compass errors from the railing. The table would have been perfect for launching as long as I flew forward a few feet to avoid the ceiling of the...

I took a long weekend vacation to North Myrtle Beach and thought that I'd bring my Mavic to see if I could get some video from the beach. I already knew that there's an airport nearby so I went through the process to unlock the Class E NFZ in DJI-Go4 and was almost on a first name basis with the...

That's the one. Not a good result.

I saw video of this tried with a phantom dropped from a height from a large drone. It never stabilized enough to fly and burned into the ground fast!

Chapel Hill, NC here. I've had a P3P for a year and am waiting for delivery of my new Mavic soon.
